Boy, we've had nothing but good luck with the same setup locally. The clients are connecting over modems using Netscape and Eudora, but I've never had any sorts of losses or timeouts that weren't due to crappy lines, and qpop does a very good job of making sure email doesn't get lost in that case. I'm running qpop-2.2 on a 2.1.6.1 system w/sendmail 8.8.4, so it sounds very similar to your setup. My boss even runs it over the internet when he's in Menlo Park, which is *much* worse than any modem with timeouts & drops. Nate
